The general idea of this novel is not bad but a lot is ruined by the personality of the main character and the attitude of the author towards providing information to the readers. The MC is a very advanced mage who somehow got his soul transferred to a new body 4000 years in the future. It takes almost 30 chapters before we find out why and the only reaction I had was why would the author hold back this information for so long? There is absolutely no reason to hide that information and to me it is more an extension of the authors writing style, constantly leaving out information that would make decisions and actions taken understandable. I guess the author is using this style to demonstrate that the MC is smart and knows things that others don't and that why he's so strong. Unfortunately the only thing this accomplishes is that it looks like the author is making up reasons afterwards to prevent making the MC seem to not have human emotions. I find it impossible to relate to the MC because of the writing style. A lot of that could have been prevented if the author explains more of the problems the MC faces before he takes action. For instance in the fight with the lich it would have helped a lot if the author explained the problems with the MC interfering with the lichs actions too soon. Because the author did not explain why the MC could not attack the lich upfront the actions taken by the MC do not feel like the actions taken by a person who wants to save the world from the beings that locked him up 4000 years ago (and even worse it looks like the way of thinking the beings that locked him up would use when confronting an enemy, there is no intent to save people or to prevent unnecessary casualties and for someone who wants to save the world you would think that part would be more important).
